What have you done to your mustang today?

[Road_Trip]

Changed the oil and diff fluid. Rolled 30k miles this weekend with it.

Not my car, but the wife's GT500, we took it yesterday to see our grandbaby, 87 miles one way.

This morning I drove it back by myself to feed our cats, got to "mouth off" to 3 different electric blob Mach-E things on the way

Damn that thing is clean. Always been one of my favorite color schemes.

@Road_Trip what ramps are those? I got a set of Rhino ramps and they are worthless. Slide no matter what I try, short of bolting them to the floor

With the splitter I use a fabricated ramps (stacked 2X12's) against the Rino Ramps to get up on them. Works for me, no movement of the ramps.

On a lighter note I got an adjustable upper in to go with the one piece driveshaft I'm sure I will have to adjust pinion angle as the car was also lowered about an inch.

FatMated the doors

swapped out to Shelby branded Kicker speakers and changed out the teflon inner glass sweeps to rubber/felt







Glued the loose/droopy inserts and added a chrome trim insert.

 

[kazman59]

Installed the FRPP rear seat delete/x-brace, along with the Kicker speakers in the package tray. FatMated the roof and package tray also.

Got some carpets in, I like the racing one better even though I'm not. Pics were taken in different light obviously, they're both the same color. They wouldnt move the emblem up on the carpet higher no matter what I tried, even money didn't work. Go figure.

Got the leather Scott Drake shift boot installed. I was happy to see it was glued on to the frame straight with perfect stitching. I had ordered the Ford oem one from an ebay seller and it was glued on crooked as hell.
Much nicer than the faux leather factory piece. Nice upgrade for about 50 bucks.

Purchased an intake for my ongoing coyote swap/build. Can’t wait to get this thing put together. It’s going to be a while longer though.

 

[Gabe]

Got the tune checked for the new higher volume fuel pump and no BAP.

Tune I drove in with put down 572 rwhp.
Tune I drove out with put down 578 rwhp.
And it's smoother and seems to open up the throttle body quicker.
It also gained a few more hp across the board, until the small 6 hp peak difference close to 7k rpm.

Swapped stock (crap) panhard bar & differential cover for better quality...my 61-yr-old back & neck are feeling it (stiff), but still fun wrench'n on the car.

Looks good, pan hard bar brace next?

 

[rocknrod]

Pulled the rear end and glass beaded it. Going to cover it in KBS Diamond Clear. Have the new labels made and the oil based markers in the proper colors.

I sprayed my rear axle with Rustolium Rust Reformer. It chemically converts that rusty film to tough black coating. It looks pretty good and has held up well.

That's a great product. Has a fine finish and nice sheen. I use it for non rusty parts also.

While under doing my differential upgrades, wondered how it would work to shoot those orange areas...now I know. Definitely on the future project list...never ends.

Have to ask - did you mask things off, or just shoot the rusty looking areas?

Started putting in the Jet-Hot coated manifolds.

I just masked the alloy cover on the differential. The spray nozzle allowed pretty accurate application for rest of it.

 

[rocknrod]

Changed out the shifter bushings to bronze units and installed poly mounts. On the trans there is a shift pawl you have to remove - not for the faint of heart.

I know it's been a while since you posted this, but my fix for the ramps sliding away was to attach a strip of plywood to the bottom of the ramps. Let it stick out the front far enough for the tire to get on it before the ramp. Works great.
